Junkyard fun with a board member! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Met up with don loverink the other day to check out one of his yards. We spent over 1/2 the day looking through parts and buildings and in vehicles and what not. There are alot of vehicles in this yard! Good thing don is close and can be there 5 days a week like a job. We both got some things including some tow hooks. Best thing was don knows the owner and he asked don to take the yard truck out, lay in the mud and water with the cutting torch, get embers down his pants and burn himself for me. Thanks don! Your bonus is under the big roof! (if looks could kill) Here are a couple of pics of what i hauled home. Enjoy.

Nice haul. I think I would have pulled the whole rear axle rather then cut the center out though. That's a twin to the one going under my 71.
